Well not all, but it’s not all roses and daisies as they make it out to be. It’s fucking hard work.

So, after 6 months of working remotely – I wanted to share some of the lows living as a digital nomad.

Don’t get me wrong – I love it. And I don’t want to put you off. But it’s a proper lifestyle change, and at times you gotta be a tough cookie. 🍪

Sometimes there are the low days. The days when I wonder: WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING.

So if you’re reading this and thinking of embarking on the digital lifestyle, hopefully it might help you decide whether to take the plunge. Or whether to stick with what you’re currently doing…

1. It can be lonely.

Meeting people ALL the time can actually feel quite lonely. People come and go so often, and as much as I love meeting new people – sometimes I just want my best mates. And there’s the occasional time I could do with a hug from my mum.

2. Question time can get tedious.

3. Most of your friends and family will think you’ve gone crazy.

I’m still trying to convince my parents that I’m not dealing drugs. They’re pretty old school when it comes to technology – so they can’t understand how it’s possible to actually make any money online.

And some people have told me it’s sad I’ve ‘ran away to Morocco’, and have asked ‘when will I settle down in England?’.

Why do I have to settle down – and why does it have to be in England?

4. Sometimes, bad stuff happens.

I lost my passport, iPhone, bank cards, $200 cash, and ID on my first day.

The silver lining is that now I feel invincible – if I can get over that, I feel like I can get over most things.

Hi. This is a very honest post. I already thought about all of this, weighed my options and chose not to be a digital nomad. I am a simple travel blogger who returns back to home after every adventure.

The lack of city salary and being lonely were definitely the two hardest things for me. I lived as a nomad for almost a year before transitioning back to a “regular” job, and I miss it every day! Reading this made me nostalgic.
